Suggest AlternativesI would only do so if the client is looking for another similar item and the original seller is no longer available. In doing the appraisal, I would naturally investigate similar items sold by other vendors, but I would never try to affect the shopping habits of the client.

Services for Other BusinessesI accept referrals for a few stores and also do an occasional report for them. Such relationships are always disclosed. My appraisals are always impartial. If anything might compromise that, I turn down the assignment.
OpinionSince there is no licencing for jewelry appraisers, clients must rely on professional accreditations (ASA, ISA, AAA, NAJA, or AGS). They should realize that a professional abides by certain standards. They should insist on a USPAP compliant appraisal. If the appraiser says they don''t conform to USPAP - or, more likely if they say, "What is USPAP?" They should run, not walk away. No matter how much property knowledge you possess, you still cannot do a credible and ethical appraisal without following at leas

Master Stone SetDiamond Master Set and Colorimeter
Cut Info in ReportShape, table and depth measurements and cut class grades.
Other Areas Of ExpertiseI have a special interest in antique and vintage jewelry.
Unique ServicesI can connect with another appraiser, Tracy Aros, who is also a MGA with ASA with our appraisal programs. We can do an appraisal out of the office for half of the time since both of us can work on the same appraisal at the same time. In large estates this is particularly appealing to the client as this saves time for someone to be with the jewelry while is it appraised if this is a requirement of the estate.
TurnaroundOne - four items can be done while you wait. Others may take a week, etc. depending on the number of items and amount of time needed for market research.   Clients can attend appraisal sessions

OpinionAn appraisal is an opinion as to the authenticity, quality, design and value of a piece of jewelry backed and supported by training (every five years), equipment and experience. The most protective part of an appraisal is an explicit description of the jewelry item, accurately depiciting the design, the metal and the stones.
* Note: I am currently the national secretary of the Gems and Jewelry committee of the American Society of Appraisers which permits me to be in current touch with the new events taking place in the world of jewelry appraising.

ResumeResumeSince: 2007.  Court Witness: Sell Retail:
Suggest AlternativesIn most cases, if a client brings in a newly purchased item for an appraisal, I do not believe that it is appropriate for an appraiser to recommend other or competing sellers. An appraiser’s job is to appraise.

OpinionThere is no conflict of interest in the buying or selling of jewelry, etc. Strictly unbiased and honest appraising. We describe the item to a degree of a word picture, so it can be replaced in like, kind and quality and with the correct value to not cost the client any out of pocket dollars. We do the work while they watch and wait and answer all questions to make an informed client and to feel better about this experience. I have completed thousands of appraisals of over millions of dollars of value,
